Findings are pertinent in conservation, restoration of tangible heritage, innovating intangible heritage (performance arts), production, promotion, banding and sales of cultural artifacts and services, especially when expanding into non-traditional markets. The insights will support the transition of traditional cultural expression towards contemporary representations in a credible and confident manner. ‘Investigating Markers of Authenticity: The Weavers’ Perspective.

I was impressed with her work as a librarian for the Deepalaya Community Library Project, which provides library services in a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of south Delhi. In Bicycle Dreaming, Koshy takes us through the dirty, maze-like lanes of Chirag Dilli, once home to the 14th century Sufi mystic Nasiruddin Mahmud Chirag and into the cramped one room home of the Saidullah’s. Noor, a young Muslim girl, has just celebrated her 13th birthday and is surprised that thirteen feels no different than twelve. Her father, Mohammad, is a kabadiwala, and Noor dreams of learning to ride a bicycle to become India’s first female kabadiwali. She fills her new school journal with drawings of green bicycles. Talib, the son, works in a call center and wants a better life for himself. As his Quotes: father’s situation worsens, Talib takes on more responsibility supporting the family and wants due recognition.

  • Semmelweis Egyetem
    XV. évfolyam 6. szám – 2014. szeptember 29. Semmelweis Egyetem A Semmelweis Egyetem hallgatóinak és közalkalmazottainak lapja Öt karon 1900 hallgató kezdte meg a tanulmányait Kivált a Semmelweis Egyetemből a TSK Új fogászati centrum nyílt a fogyatékkal élők ellátására Hamarosan megjelenik a nagysikerű Szövettan tankönyv! Röhlich Pál: SZÖVETTAN 4., átdolgozott és bővített kiadás Ez a könyv elsősorban az egyetemi oktatás számára készült az- zal a céllal, hogy az egészséges emberi szervezet mikroszkópos világába bevezesse az orvostanhallgatókat. Az első kiadás óta eltelt idő tapasztalata azt mutatja, hogy a könyvet szívesen for- gatják szakbiológus- és állatorvostan-hallgatók, továbbá egye- temi oktatók is. A tankönyvben a szövettani vizsgálati módszerek és a sejtnek, mint a szövetek építőelemének ismertetése után az alapszö- vetek tárgyalása következik, melyet a szervek, szervrendszerek mikroszkópos anatómiájának ismertetése követ. A bőséges képanyag (részben mikroszkópos felvételek, részben színes vázlatok) a szövettani részletek első látásra történő, vizuális megértését kívánja szolgálni, és egyben szövettani atlaszként is használható. Jelen kiadásban a szerzők tovább bővítették az apró betűs szakaszokat, részben az ismeretek elmélyítését szolgáló, más tárgyak felé utaló részletekkel (szürke háttér), részben új elemként az adott szövettani struktúra klinikai vo- natkozásainak a felvillantásával (sárga háttér). A gyakorlati mikroszkópos munkában hasznos információkat tartalmaznak a kék hátterű apró betűs szakaszok. Megvásárolható könyvesboltjainkban vagy megrendelhető a Semmelweis Kiadó honlap- járól.
